It’s a terrific party. We take over Zilker Park, catch up with new and old friends, and watch some great bands play terrific music. I’ve been doing this for eight years now, and it never, ever fails to be a blast.

This year, we’ve got the Mavericks and Vintage Trouble. If you’ve never heard Raul Malo sing live … well, you need to fix that.

There’s no place better to hear him than Zilker Park on a cool (hopefully) autumn night when we have the place to ourselves.

The show starts at 8. Do not miss it. You’ll be kicking yourself if you do, no kidding.
